Visting my friend in Montbello and he wanted to try this great BBQ place out in Montebello. Reasonably priced and really yummy BBQ! We both love the pork belly, and Wagyu brisket. We also had the baby back ribs, and they were also good. Their tacos are fire and shrimp tacos were my favorite. read more

I don't eat BBQ very often, so I took this as an opportunity to try a good variety of items from the menu. For proteins, I went with the wagyu brisket, BBQ pulled pork, and baby back ribs, along with sides of roasted garlic mash, cowboy beans, and pesto mac. Overall, the meats were well-cooked, tender, and packed with smoky flavor. The brisket especially had a nice richness to it. My only small complaint was that some of the meats leaned a little dry at times, so I found myself wishing they had given a bit more BBQ sauce on the side. The sides were definitely a standout for me. The pesto mac was surprisingly my favorite--mac and cheese can sometimes feel overly rich or heavy, but the pesto added a fresh, herby flavor that balanced everything out really well. The roasted garlic mash was creamy and comforting, and the cowboy beans paired perfectly with the BBQ. I also noticed they have sliders, tacos, and a few more creative items on the menu, which definitely makes me want to come back and try more next time. Overall, a solid BBQ spot with flavorful food and enough variety to keep things interesting. read more

First off, BBQ can mean something different to everyone. With that, I am accustomed to meat falling off the bone and a lot of sauce. Southside doesn't seem to be about that, and that's okay. More than okay, it was deliciously astray from my normal. The meat is smoky and delicious with a small amount of sauce to give a hint of sweet and sassiness. Three meat dinner for two was enough for two, and there was a small amount of leftovers for the next day. Mac and cheese wasn't too saucy and the pulled pork sliders will have a place in my heart (and gut!). Ordering out is easy and pickup was a breeze. The parking situation is pretty simple with many spaces available. While it's not exactly my type of BBQ, I'll definitely be back. If you're in the mood for smoky ribs and brisket, with a killer pulled pork, this is the place. It's hard to achieve a subtle perfection and I thank Southside for their hard work. read more

This place is legit! The service, food, and ambience are all great! Although we had a little trouble finding it because the place doesn't match its look. It feels like walking into an auto - shop, but once you get in, it turns into a sports bar/restaurant. read more

This place exceeded my expectations in every single way. First of all, I'm honestly not really a BBQ gal but Southside BBQ can definitely change that. I've been seeing this all over IG and figured I would try it. I did a to go order. You can easily call and order to go. The young lady who answered definitely knew her stuff. I told her I didn't know whether to get the hot links or the wagyu brisket. She recommended the latter, she even mentioned that they bbq their meats for hours! I ended up ordering the 1 protein +. 1 side. Wagyu brisket and roasted garlic mash with gravy. It came with 2 rolls, house pink pickles and jerk slaw. Omg!! The brisket was full of flavor and not dry at all. I love how they kept in some of the Fats of the brisket. The roasted garlic mash was yummy. Nothing over salty at all!! You already know I'll be coming here again and try more of their menu. But next time I'll eat there. read more

Tried a new BBQ spot today and it definitely delivered. The baby back ribs were the highlight for me -- packed with flavor and smoked to perfection. Easily my favorite thing on the menu. I also had the brisket burger, which was great. The beef patty was already tasty, and the brisket on top just took it to another level. They offer a good variety of sides too. I went with the mac & cheese and smashed potatoes with gravy, and both were solid comfort-food choices. One thing I thought was really unique was their BBQ potstickers -- a cool twist that actually worked and tasted great. Overall, everything I tried was really good. If I had to pick a least favorite, it would probably be the pork belly, but even that wasn't bad compared to the rest of the meal. Tacos were decent but I will focus more on their BBQ Definitely worth checking out if you're a BBQ fan. their services was great and very friendly and helpful. Great for family and friends. read more

This might've topped some of my favorite BBQ spots in the 626 area. The Asian influence in the herb marinated veggies and the pork belly are done so well. The meat is cooked phenomenally and the sliders, tacos, and potstickers are so unique. The only dish I wasn't blown away by was the mac and cheese. The ribs are cooked really well but the mac and cheese itself could've done with a little bit more salt. I like savory food so others will probably not mind. Overall it is really good and I am excited that it just opened. Service is great as well so it makes me want to come back more just because how nice they were. read more

3/8/2026 Came with a large group all our first time here. I had the 3 item combo with 2 sides. Waygu brisket, pork belly and grilled chicken breast. My sides were Cowboy Beans and veggies. If you're carving for a heavy Texas style BBQ this isn't the place for you. The protein has a lighter flavor I especially liked the Brisket. The chicken and the pork belly needed to be drenched in BBQ sauce it just lacked flavor and seasoning. I wouldn't get the veggies again lacked seasoning, the Cowboy Beans was pretty tasty. Service was excellent the staff came around asking if we needed drink refills or anything else. read more

I had a lovely experience at Southside BBQ Co (Montebello). I ordered the Wagyu Brisket Burger ($21 - Medium Rare). It's EXTREMELY delicious! I wanted to scream in joy as I bit into its hefty, juicy meat. I felt humbled. With shaky, eager hands I ravished that perfect burger. I felt happy. (Important: Bring cash. There's a 4% additional charge for card.) I arrived at Southside BBQ Co (Montebello) on Friday (around 1:02PM). Parking is easy; the lot had many empty spaces when I'd arrived. Staff (identified as Jack) is professional, diligent, and helpful. Jack provided useful recommendations from the cheese to the BBQ sauce. Jack also maintained a welcoming, kind demeanor during my entire experience. The food arrived in 19 minutes 35 seconds. Personally, this lengthy cook time for one burger is a little worrisome since there were almost no customers during my visit. Still, it was worth the wait. As mentioned, I ordered the Wagyu Brisket Burger ($21 - Medium Rare). It's Wagyu Brisket AND a 1/4 Wagyu Patty; it included big, fluffy brioche buns, cheddar cheese, and caramelized onions. The flavor of fresh, clean beef radiated lovingly. The brisket had a light smoky flavor, and it seductively fell apart in my mouth. The 1/4 wagyu patty reminded me of a juicy meatloaf. It's BIG. Each bite felt euphoric! Regarding ambiance, Southside BBQ Co (Montebello) is gorgeous! The ugly, forgettable exterior hides an almost magical & enchanting interior with vibrant artwork and charming decor. I felt humbled at the effort this new, hidden business held... If it wasn't from a random visit on Yelp, I'd have never discovered it. Southside BBQ Co (Montebello) has about nine huge, sparkly tables. Everything looked shiny & new. The location is well-ventilated, almost chilly. The restroom is in the back corner. There's also loud, fun upbeat music. I also noticed several flat screen televisions, but they were off during my visit. Overall, I found unexpected happiness at Southside BBQ Co (Montebello). It's one of the best hamburgers that I've ever tasted; the satisfaction is comparable to the Gordon Ramsay Burger in Las Vegas while also being cheaper!! If you love burgers, this is a must try!! 5 out of 5. "GO, GO, GO, before it becomes too popular!" read more

This is a fairly new spot in an area that doesn't have many restaurant options, especially good ones, so I really want it to succeed. It definitely has potential, but it feels like it's still working through some operational kinks. A couple of menu items weren't available (or at least not that day), which made ordering a bit frustrating. It would be helpful if they clearly listed which items are available on certain days to avoid having to rethink your order. (Yes, I pick what I want before due to lunch time crunch) The place itself was clean, which is always a plus. Service was okay, but there's room for improvement. With a little more consistency and tighter management, this could easily become a go to spot. read more

It was a disappointment as soon as we started ordering because they didn't have any ribs. I opted for brisket, which was pretty tender, but it had too much BBQ sauce for my taste. The mashed potatoes were too watery, though they tasted fine. My husband loved his brisket sandwich and left the place happy, so I was happy about that. read more

5-6-2026 My partner saw their BOGO deals on DD, so I got to try the pulled pork mac, sliders, and burger (with provolone). The mac and cheese was great, and it stayed warm in the container. It was the only thing that didn't cool to room temperature. I like how the mac & cheese wasn't too salty. The sliders were actually pretty tasty, especially with the coleslaw. The burger came with the biggest bun I have seen! It was bready and meaty, but in terms of flavor, this one was the most lacking. read more

The brisket was delicious and the price is right, I also tried the pork belly taco but I didn't like the tortilla it came with so I just ate the pork belly and it tasted good. The service is great but the ambience is a bit quieter than other places I have been to and I didn't mind as long as the food is good read more

I don't know how we've overlooked this place since they opened but I'm so glad we found it. We were out running an errand and looked on yelp for a place to stop for dinner on our way home and found this gem. The decor is colorful, creative, and quite delightful. Destina was absolutely fantastic. She gave us valuable insight on what to order as first time customers, knew her menu and the food quite well and really made us feel at home and welcomed. Now to the most important part ...the food. Wow. Just wow. The Wagyu brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender. A knife was completely unnecessary; it pulled apart effortlessly. The pulled pork had the perfect amount of sweet and savory. We couldn't get enough. Let's not forget the tacos. OMG... such bright lively flavors. We had the pork belly and the Wagyu beef tacos. Really looking forward to coming back and trying the other flavors. You know that feeling when you found an awesome new food place? Yeah, that one.... read more

Stopped in on Father's Day to try Southside Bbq after see all the reviews about this stop in Montebello. Was very disappointed for a bbq place you except smoked bbq flavors got pan cooked chicken, pan reheated hot links, brisket, pulled pork, and pork belly with no barbecue sauce or flavor what so ever. Cowboy bean and Mac and cheese was decent. Potato and macaroni salad wasn't good. Some how even the Hawaiian rolls had a different taste and not in a good way. I would call this place a bbq spot in anyway. Was disappointed to say the least. The inside was nice and clean. Sadly, most likely would not stop by again. That's a side from the fact that i ordered from DoorDash they stated my food was ready and still had to wait another 20-30 minutes in the restaurant for them to prepare my food. Not even read more

Pork belly- best meat of all time, fatty, tender, and melt in your mouth Brisket - soft , but not as tender. Very flavorful Ribs- only the meat close to the bone was tender and melt in mouth, as the meat got further away it was VERY dry, inedible Hot link - very very good, nice spice and juicy Tater tots - basic, crispy with soft inside Mac and cheese - basic, cheesy, seasoned well, however slightly gritty Grilled vegetables - seasoned well and not over cooked, went well with the meats Priced very well! read more

Came on 2/14. I believe this is a fairly new establishment. We ordered the 3 Proteins and 3 Sides for the bbq plate. We chose Wagyu brisket, pulled pork and hot links. And for our sides, Garlic mash, Mac and cheese, and French fries. It also came with 2 dinner rolls, a side of coleslaw and pink pickles. The Wagyu brisket didn't have the WOW factor for me. And it needed more barbecue sauce as it was kind of dry. I really enjoyed the pulled pork and the hot links. Service was good. We kept getting checked on (which is a good thing) and asked if we needed anything else, or how the food was tasting. read more

The food exceeded my expectations. I am not very fond of bbq food In general. And surprisingly, I was eating even briskets and pulled pork sliders with smoked flavors. They slow smoked their meat. The food quality was excellent too. The waiters and waitresses were very friendly. Also, really love their decorations and wall mural. The plants around the rooftop caught my attention as well. I will definitely return with my family and friends. read more

I went on a Sunday afternoon and the restaurant seemed a bit empty. The food was so good and service was spot on. Their barbecue sauce was smokey and sweet, loved it. We tried the pork belly slider (YUM, melt in your mouth), Wagyu brisket slider (tender, delicious), Kobe slider (good but nothing special). We also tried the baby back ribs, hot link and pulled pork. The baby back ribs were tender but not falling off the bone tender how I like it but still great flavor. Pulled pork was juicy and so good. Hot link was also really good, didn't find it spicy but I have a high tolerance. Fries and tots were seasoned to perfection and absolutely crispy. The cowboy beans were also really good. Service was exceptional, refills kept coming without having to ask, waiter was very attentive and I can't wait to go back. Ambiance was good also, they had multiple screens showing Dodgers previous games/Sportsnet - overall I enjoyed everything about this place. read more

I was really wanting to like this place but.. it just isnt good. The "wagyu brisket" was tough and chewy (so I feel like they are false advertising the meat) the mac and cheese had no flavor at all. Cucumber salad was warm. Im giving this place 2 stars because the sausage was pretty good and the potstickers tasted great. Definitely over priced. Paid nearly $75 for some below average BBQ. read more

Came here twice during their soft opening week. Service was very friendly. We've had most of the meats so far. Wagyu Brisket, grilled chicken, pulled pork, and baby back ribs were all tender and flavorful. The smoked pork belly was a unique barbecue item. Smoked, braised, fatty, tender, and a whole lot of flavor. Currently my #1 pick. For the sides, so far we've had the garlic mash, pesto Mac, and Mac and cheese. All have been good so far. Will definitely come again. read more

I can't leave a review about the food because we didn't get to eat there. We did a few rounds but there was zero parking.

Maybe next time. read more

Every dishes from Bento Box, Chicken Wings, Lobster Mac, Stacked Tomatoes Burrata Salad, Wagyu Burger, and Wagyu Yuzu Taco are packed with flavors and the ingredients complement with all the dishes. Waygu Meat is high quality, super juicy, and tender. Every bite of the meat melted in my mouth. Anything your order here will be cooked to perfection. Food are so good that I went for second. I over order so I packed some food and ate it for lunch the next day. All the leftovers were amazing the next day since it didn't lose its flavor. My mouth is watery thinking of all the delicious food. Definitely a good place for catering, dine in, take out, and host an event.
